Variance is the trust layer for modern platforms.
We deploy AI agents that process billions of events every day to stop fraud, scams, and abuse, protecting millions of users. To enable this, we’re setting a new standard in agentic interfaces that give trustworthy platforms an edge over adversaries. We’re hiring product engineers to design and ship the systems that put AI head-to-head with some of the hardest adversarial problems in risk and safety. Fortune 500s and top-tier unicorns already rely on us, and we’re just beginning to scale.

Care deeply about craftsmanship and have strong opinions about your work
Work comfortably in React, Next.js, and TypeScript
Thrive on owning features end-to-end, from backend to polished UI to production
(Bonus) Have experience in data visualization or observability-oriented products
What you’ll do
Ship features end-to-end with iteration cycles measured in hours, not quarters
Scale our product into new industries and workflows through fast pilots and live demos
Build the foundations of a system designed to handle billions of users and events
